JUDGE John McGregor, Of Newark
N. l., the only member of the Court OF
Errors and Appeals who favored the
hanging of Titus for the murder of TiIlle
Smith, of Hackettstown, has left a
church of Universalist doctrines, of
which he has been member for many
years, and has entered the Presbyter-
ian Church. The reason assigned for
Judge McCregor's action is that the
pastor of the church he lately attended
said, in a sermon delivered the week
lefore Easter, that any one who favored

A train set the woods afire at Smithtown
Branch. Long Island, on Sunday morning
about II o clock. The alarm bells were
rung, and as the dense smoke spread low
through the village the alarm became
great. The ministers in the several
churches abruptly stopped the services
and called on the congregation to fight the
fire. For several hours the village was IN
imminent danger, and the tiremen did not
get control of the flames until about 100
acres of wood land had been burned.

Judge McGregor took the remark as
applying to himself. The remark was

Grains of Sand.

The manufacture of sand is an i'm.
portant industry, which has Pittsburgh
for its headquarters, although the sand
is not made within the limits Of the
city. There is q considerable traffic in
Monongahela sand, which is scooped
up from the bed of the river, to be used
for common building purposes; but
the manufacture of sand is quite anoth-
err affair. and the product goes into
quite different commodity, which is
glass.
Practically, glass is almost pure sand.
other substances used IN its manufac-
ture for fluxing being consumed while
the sand is transformed to greater or
less degree Of transparency. The sand
in glassmaking is almost pure silica, so
nearly pure that there is less than
per cent. of iron, magnesia, and alu-
minum, to SO per cent. of the other.
And of this sand. which is quarried out
of the hills and ground down to vary
ing degrees of fineness. and washed to
varying degrees Of whiteness, eight
hundred tons are manufactured daily,
four hundred tons being consumed in
and about Pittsburgh, and four hun
dred tons going into eastern Ohio. ard

which was about the LIST of February, and
continued its use until the latter part of
April. The offensive discharge decreased
at once and the hardness around the cancer
disappeared. Ii improved my general
health and / rapidly gained flesh and
strength. The discharge gradually de-
creased and the cancer became less and less
in size until nothing remains except a scar
to tell the tale of q once dangerous cancer.

of my great improvement, and the scar on

Muck as a Fertilizer.

Farmers who can dig muck from the
swamps in winter viii do well to do it.
There is great deal of swamp muck,
especially that of a peaty nature, that
when weathered and frosted ana then
dried by the action of the summers
sun is worth as muc1 soad for load, as
good barn-yard N. lure. Analysis
shows it to contain two to three per
cent of ammonia generally, and often
more This is not dissipated when the
muck Is weathered and dried, and not
only so, but when it is compOsted with
stable manure it prevents the valuable
constituents of that from wasting. We
have never known such compos's.

Canine SagacitY.

A black and white collie, belonging
to one of the shepherds at Bughtrigg,
was sent on Tuesday from Jedburgh by
train to Langholm. The dog arrived
safely at Langholm, and remained
quietly at his new home till Friday
morning, when he was missed. To the
surprise of his former owneI> he ap-
peared early on Monday morning at
Bughtrigg, a distance of nearly sixty
miles from Langholm. Now, when it
is stated that this dog had gone by
train and had never travelled foot of
the road before, the fact of his finding
his way back over hills and moors to
his former home is certainly remark
able instance of that sagacity, or, well,
call it what you like, so often found in
the shepherds dog.-ScotsmGH

WHO SAVED THE TRAINS7

Two traiss came speeding along the track
CTwas bitter cold night in winter time),
And the switchman nodded over his fire
With never 4 thought OF crime.
Twas bitter night, and the snow was thick,
The fire warm and he nodded long,
His seGses benumbed by fatigue and cold
But never intending wrong.
The trains came rushing, laden with lives
Alas, for them with no guard at the SWITCH
For the switchman's lever is mighty TO
Or destroy, and this night 'twould be-which!
6is Newfoundland dog lay close to his feet,
With silken all alert TO hear,
And bright eyes steadfastly keeping watch
For possible danger near.
"A distant rumblinG smote his ear,
And swift a flash to his feet he sprang,
Eagerly pulling his masters coat,
And loudly his sharp bark rang.
The switchman rose TO his feet in haste,
And saw, through the heavily falling snow,
The bowling winds and bitter night,
Two fiery headlights glow!
He sprang to his duty. The trains swept by,
Laden with precious humanity
Peacefully sleeping, not knowing how near
They had been to eternity!
